Hi,
I was diagnosed about a year ago, with Grave’s Disease and Exopthalmos (only one eye seems to be effected). I was on three different meds at the same time for about 9 months, when my labs came back really low. My Endo decided to take me off the meds to see if the levels would even out, but 3 months later (now) they are still pretty low. My symptoms have been getting worse, and now My MD says he wants me to think about having my thyroid removed. Well I’m not so sure about this, because then I’ll be Hypo- for the rest of my life. I don’t know what to do. I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, and I just thought that if there was anyone out there that could offer some advise, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I’m really sorry about posting this way, but I couldn’t figure out how else to ask my question with out having to reply to some one else’s post????? Yes, I’m computer stupid. ” title=”Wink” />
